Descriptionof M8 Greyhound / M20
Manufacturer

At the start of the Second World War, the US Army had light and lightly armed ?scout cars? for advanced reconnaissance operations. The M-8 Greyhound armoured car, developed during the course of the war and featuring better armour and heavier armament, marked a turning point for the US Army. The vehicle offered greater operational flexibility and, thanks to the 37-mm gun mounted in its turret, could be deployed more effectively to support ground troops. It was initially deployed on the Italian front from Montecassino to Anzio and later took part in the D-Day operations in June 1944. Although the terrain in Normandy proved difficult and challenging during the early stages of the operation, the M-8 was later valued for its speed and versatility in action. It was used not only by the US military but also by numerous Allied nations.
